In
1973, when Baron was starring as Cliff Gorman's replacement in "Lenny",
he issued an album of gay humor. Not gay himself. Baron was trying to
be a crusading social comic a Ia Lenny, and deserves some credit for
trying something new, even if the album title and the cover's pastel
hues implied that all homosexuals were drag queens.Dick
Gregory, Bette Midler, and Alan King supplied album notes. They
should've helped out with the sketches; they aren't very funny. There's
literally no punch line to the story of the parents who come to their
son's home and wonder about his love life.The
album ends with a pretentious "Fairy Tale" about a gay prince who is
miserable in his kingdom until he discovers magic: "They call the magic
'pride.' All you have to do is open the closet door.' Baron's heart was
in the right place, and the actors who play gays avoid stereotyped
lisping, but the comedy is no place to be found. ~anonymous
